Experienced Project Engineer with a successful track record in handling complex telecommunications projects. Played a key role in multi-million dollar fiber projects over various grant cycles. Serving as the lead designer, I contributed to the development of backbone and end-to-end Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks, employing both overhead and underground configurations for rural broadband deployment using various FTTx architectures. I take pride in developing and implementing standardized operating procedures and guidelines for efficient fiber optic design and construction. A crucial aspect of my contributions involves meticulous planning and management of fiber allocation to guarantee reliable end-user service, along with the hands-on role in calculating loss budgets and splicing diagrams from origin to end user. In terms of quality control, I review fiber construction work orders to ensure strict adherence to client and NESC standards. On the technological front, I've contributed significantly by developing a fiber splicing database using Vetro Fiber Management Software and providing comprehensive training on its utilization, alongside the National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC) software.
